Never saw it - I have heard more than a few claim he got jobbed. Sorry if I was unnecessarily rude about it.
But have always been a bit annoyed when they point to his extraordinary amateur record. No doubt it is an amazing achievement but as I said he really didn't belong in that second Olympics. Imagine if Clay had stayed an amateur and fought in Tokyo in '64? My God his record would have been staggering; or even Benvenuti, already at 190-1 he may have come close to 400 wins if he stayed an amateur.
I am sorry that I have not seen him fight other than the Lopez fight. I am certain that is not what he is . . . I know he dominated in his last outing but didn't watch.
You are guilty of placing American values on Soviet era fighters, and most assuredly, pray tell us what kind of record Gaseous would've have recorded when turning pro with his ama coaches, something the Ks, Usyk, and Loma did?
